Hey,yea it was a life experience! Now I might have posted this in the past here. Back in 2010 on a flight back from LA to NYC we were held up from landing due to thunderstorms and we circled for 2 hours. Pilot said sorry ladies and gentlemen but the entire North East quadrant is shut down from Boston to DC and since were running very low on fuel we are going to land in Cleavland for fuel. Let me tell you,he had the Jet on full blast and flying very low. I had a window seat and saw the lights of Cleaveland within minutes. There was no turning it was straight on to the runway lol. I know we were on fumes. It's a good thing that your in a normal PAC Northwest pattern and lets hope for a continuation as per your 10 day forecast. El Nino is history but that doesn't mean we go directly into a La Nina. Could take months. These tornadoes are horrid and just think that on average only 10% of them hit populated areas. Hurricane season begins this weekend. Not for you and the good folks in the PAC NW but for me and others on the East Coast.Current water temp off Atlantic City is 62f that is 5 degrees above the norm for this time of year

Semi-OT For those interested in the air crashes and especially the investigation of their causes, check out this TV series, broadcast as MayDay but in some places called Air Crash Investigation or Air Crash Disaster. You get a mix of archival tape, interviews with participants and experts, and recreations as they analyze why an accident happened and what were the policy and procedural changes that resulted. imdb.com I see they are up to 227 episodes, so you could have days of viewing pleasure.... I occasionally watch an episode if I have some free time. My favourite so far looked into the Gimli Glider, when a pilot managed to glide a Boeing 767 that lost power at 41000 ft to a safe landing at what turned out to be a not quite abandoned WWii air field east of Winnipeg. en.wikipedia.org LC
